a clue 🤔 I probably would not give 66 away ☺️ you may guess again if you wished (cause I know you know better) @logger7 unless you guessed to loose 😂

Since you only collect the best PCGS coins, I'll say MS66 rb.

AU55 details, cleaned. The color is off for an Indian cent with the "L". I suspect that is why the date has been hidden ... most will think it is copper-nickel when it is actually bronze.
It’s been said that it’s a SHE under the band of LIBERTY,
Well truth be known, weak strike indeed,
But boyish face makes it one, two or three 😉?
Emphasis then on the singular-ee!

Indeed, did not notice the L.
One the ribbon next to the lowest feather. It was added partway through 1864 on the bronze coins and appears on all later dates.

MS63….has to be 1886 or after due to the bottom feather placement. Rule out the S mintmark. Just a stab and could be completely wrong (probably am wrong)….1896 with the strike weakness.
For what it’s worth, it’s a RB coin that graded BN.
I think I see evidence of some mint luster in the reverse image. So, the piece is at least AU-50 if it received a straight grade. Now, IF I could see color images, I would likely be able to make a better guess.
Since this is all in fun, I'm going to go with "Questionable Color, Uncirculated Details."

I'm going with MS62

Thanks for the hint. I want to give myself the best chance possible for this lucky penny. It is an attractive piece but I don't think it will quite make choice uncirculated so I'm going with...(drum roll)...

AU 55, Thanks for the opportunity
Here’s a flower for you. It’s the anniversary gift that keeps on giving. I gave it to my wife on our 1st anniversary 17 years ago!

Ms 63 . Thanks

PF you are perfect in my book.

Looks solid 64 for me.
62
It's such a very beautiful coin, should grade higher than MS 63 and would be a shame if it graded lower. (That's my guess too!)
No one has said ms61 so that will be my guess.
Fun!
Edit spelling
It's all about what the people want...
I am waiting for “parking lot” Penny finders to come in 🤔
I'm guessing MS-62 RB. I'm not gonna enter the contest, however.

MS 64 is my guess
That's always the way. They are too busy creating and only reading their own threads.
You don't have a choice. If you guessed correctly then your name goes into the Mango bowl.
May the best guesser be pecked, I mean picked. Or maybe I do mean pecked.
This one worths quite a few thousands pennies 🤔 to be owned free N clear with little observation & luck 🤗
🐋 so @JBK what is your number?
I'm already in at MS64. I think I'll stick with it. I might be wrong but at least I'm confident.
58!

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for first loving us.

What he said.
MS-64 is my guess-- beautiful coin!
MS-63
I was gonna go 65, but that would make it a mighty generous giveaway prize, surely?
I will guess along with many others MS64.... Cheers, RickO
